Citing “reliable sources at a major European iPhone carrier,” Apple blog 9to5Mac has reported that mobile network providers are running unusually low on iPhone 3GS stocks with fewer handsets coming through to replenish the low levels.

Adding further fuel to the fire 9to5Mac continues that “a tipster at an Orange UK store in London has let us know that the carrier has told employees that the iPhone 3GS is no longer available.”

What features would you like to see land in the iPhone 5? Is there any need for the 3GS to remain on the market with the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 available? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.
